Bumblebee 3.2.1 Released With Ubuntu 13.04 Fixes, New Options

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Bumblebee 3.2 has been released a few days ago but there was an issue and it didn't work on a lot of setups o version 3.2.1 has been released to fix this. The new version also fixes the Primus backend for Ubuntu 13.04 and adds some new options.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><a href="http://bumblebee-project.org/">Bumblebee</a> is an unofficial tool that brings Nvidia Optimus GPU switching to Linux. It's useful to increase battery life by only switching the dedicated GPU (Nvidia) on when needed. Nvidia has added <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/nvidia-releases-linux-graphics-drivers.html">initial Optimus support</a> in their latest 319.12 beta drivers, but it doesn't have GPU switching yet.</i></div><br /><a name='more'></a><b>Bumblebee 3.2 comes with the following changes:</b><br /><ul><li style="text-align: justify;">new option: "-b" to disable injection of any render offloading bridge (primus or VirtualGL). Use this to invoke nvidia-settings (optirun -b none nvidia-settings -c :8)<i>;</i></li><li style="text-align: justify;">new option: "--no-xorg" for optirun to disable starting secondary X server. Use this to run CUDA or OpenCL applications that do not need the graphics rendering capabilities. Implies "-b none";</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Bumblebee no longer depends on the primusrun script anymore for the Primus backend. However, "primusrun" and "optirun -b primus" have different behaviors: the first one powers on the discrete GPU when needed while the second one will immediately do this; the difference in behavior is most noticeable with WebGL content in Firefox;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Added support for passing <i>-configdir</i> to X, defaulting to <i>/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d</i>,<i> --xconfdir</i> option added to bumblebeed and XorgConfDir added to <i>bumblebee.conf</i>; this finally fixes a long-standing annoyance with SNA config option for the Intel driver;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">the BusID is added automatically on Ubuntu 13.04 so users no longer need to do this manually. Without this, Bumblebee failed to work on Ubuntu 13.04;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">fix: added <i>/usr/$LIB/mesa/libGL.so.1</i> to default primus libGLd for supporting Ubuntu 13.04;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">fix: fixed a "buffer overflow" issue in bumblebeed;</li><li style="text-align: justify;">fix: removed accesses to PCI config space from the daemon process.</li></ul><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, <b><a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/set-up-bumblebee-with-bumblebee.html">Bumblebee Configurator GUI</a></b>, a tool that allows you to easily setup Bumblebee, has been <b>updated recently with support for the latest Bumblebee 3.2</b>. <b>The latest version also adds an option to install Bumblebee in Ubuntu</b>.</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Install Bumblebee Configurator GUI in Ubuntu</h2><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFH2WxRju9zKCfbGmfS_LUX2vUKBq57qoqO_aFakjIfyjwLK3e_NnzaiN7gYAgdK8viUdFBzXn3hjrH1LepblhUDYjRIUB4KIeO1yhKqkw6URIl4lz3ZIItRpzNVlVZierePzJTsn2LbAI/s1600/bumblebee-config_1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bumblebee Configurator GUI" border="0" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFH2WxRju9zKCfbGmfS_LUX2vUKBq57qoqO_aFakjIfyjwLK3e_NnzaiN7gYAgdK8viUdFBzXn3hjrH1LepblhUDYjRIUB4KIeO1yhKqkw6URIl4lz3ZIItRpzNVlVZierePzJTsn2LbAI/s320/bumblebee-config_1.png" title="Bumblebee Configurator GUI" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkZPW9pWgovei-2iC0KDqI4fgcwSvKBp8LRS51JHWIgXjsiZrch55BqhlsTrajQgLYBHoEy8yqnsBnHoDcb49mPVrbaA2KuSBySodCSSUxI1TBtiIZf34VNEVSvEVtnUcRtCm5IMz0nRAj/s1600/bumblebee-config_2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bumblebee Configurator GUI" border="0" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkZPW9pWgovei-2iC0KDqI4fgcwSvKBp8LRS51JHWIgXjsiZrch55BqhlsTrajQgLYBHoEy8yqnsBnHoDcb49mPVrbaA2KuSBySodCSSUxI1TBtiIZf34VNEVSvEVtnUcRtCm5IMz0nRAj/s320/bumblebee-config_2.png" title="Bumblebee Configurator GUI" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>To install Bumblebee Configurator GUI in Ubuntu, use the following commands:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alessandrofac93/bumblebee-config-gtk-dev<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install bumblebee-config-gui</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Then, you launch the application and use it to install and set up Bumblebee.
